NOTE: The following guide explains in more detail the steps your proposal must go through before submission. The Crown Today proposal generator will help you with this in an easier way. Alternatively, you could use the tutorial on Youtube.

Submitting a proposalProposals go through a series of stages before being paid:- Preparation: create a special transaction that takes the 25 CRW collateral fee needed to submit a proposal from your wallet.- Submitting: Submit your proposal to the network with the transaction id generated above as proof that you sent 25 CRW collateral.- Voting: Masternode owners vote on your proposal.- Finalization: At the end of each payment period, proposals are sorted then compiled into a finalized budget.- Payment: The winning finalized budgets are paid out on the superblock date.

1. Prepare collateral transactionA command must be entered that will take 25 CRW as collateral from your wallet. Make sure you have those funds ready!Go to Tools -> Debug Console and enter the preparation command with the following syntax:mnbudget prepare PROPOSAL_NAME URL PAYMENT_COUNT BLOCK_START RECEIVING_ADDRESS MONTHLY_PAYMENT

NOTE: PROPOSAL_NAME must be shorter than 21 charactersURL must be shorter than 65 characters and should be a link that points to your proposal submission documentPAYMENT_COUNT signifies the amount of months (i.e. superblocks) you request funding forTo find out the BLOCK_START, check http://crown.today for when the next superblock will occurRECEIVING_ADDRESS signifies the address where you want your funding to be sent in case the proposal passesMONTHLY_PAYMENT is the amount that you want to receive per month

The prepare command then gives an output, which we shall call PREPARE_OUTPUT.This output may look something like this: 9e635d03077435a19da38414a4ff43f76bcb46d01334b6cfd95546d45de46c80. This is the transaction id, which you'll need to copy for the next step.

2. Submit proposal to the networkStep 2 will submit the proposal to the network. First, click the 'Transactions' tab in your wallet and see if the 25CRW collateral has received at least 6 confirmations. If this is done, enter the submit command according to the following syntax:

Your proposal has now been submitted and will again give you an output, which will look like: a2b29778ae82e45a973a94309ffa6aa2e2388b8f95b39ab3739f0078835f0491 - This is your proposal's voting hash, which is a unique identifier for your proposal and can be used by voters (Masternode operators) to upvote or downvote your proposal.
